Ska Junkie Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Got a lot of time for PNE and they were in this for 60 minutes. Not a 4 nil game IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Balls Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 1 hour ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Not that I'm watching it but Cardiff already awarded- and missed- two penalties. By that I don't mean penalty retaken due to encroachment but two separately awarded penalties. Not so much 2 missed as 2 saved within 4 minutes and the first 7 minutes of the match. I am sure someone will put me right but surely that’s a record any time and not just in the FA Cup? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 At least none of todays teams had the misfortune of this team from Martinique in the French Cup: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67903643 (And last year there was a team from Reunion in the Indian Ocean that made this stage of the French Cup - an even longer trip!)

A lot can happen in 30 minutes, mind. As Cloughie famously said: It only takes half an hour to muster one shot on target ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Listening to the pundits on SSN saying how this will probably be the last season for cup replays and citing fixture congestion. It was apparent to me that the complaining clubs were involved with the Champions League (which will be expanded next season, the World Club Championship (I remember when it was the European champions v their South American counterparts) and their mid winter breaks. So another tradition and possible money raiser for the lesser teams should be scrapped simply to help a handful of top teams? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 (edited) I want Spurs away, IF we can get past the replay. Another massive away following and I might get a ticket this time. Be nice if we finally got to go to Old Trafford for the first time in 45 years too. Edited January 7 by Ska Junkie 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 The problem with drawing Rovers/Norwich, is if we get through we’ll likely play Norwich. And they’re two for two on us this season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 That non-league side who are still in it, at home. They will be so disappointed coming to BS3 rather than the London Stadium, we might get a replay*! *being deliberately pessimistic to avoid future embarrassment. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrs Court Red Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 I’ve never seen City play Tottenham in a competitive game - so wouldn’t mind them home or away. Drawing today has worked rather well, get the excitement of the 4th round draw, and a big cup game under the lights to look forward to regardless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 On the train on the way up, and tongue firmly in cheek , I said I fancy Spurs away after we beat West Ham. I'll stick with that . 15% of 63,000 = another 9k travelling support ? I'd take Old Trafford or Goodison though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That season we did the double on them and you’re right, I’d forgotten the circumstances of the home game! But it’s the exception that proves the rule. Most other games in living memory have been either defeats or goal-less draws!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
